If you want to change build options then you need to re-run autogen.sh to
regenerate the Makefiles.

The option is mentioned in both TOOLS section of the README (but I note
has a typo that needs to be fixed) adjacent to the interactive example,
and the configure help, which is itself mentioned in the README:

$ ./configure --help

...

  --enable-gpioset-interactive
                          enable gpioset interactive mode [default=no]

...


That is not enabled by default as some platforms lack, or want to avoid
including, libedit.

And thank you for the SE un-upvote and downvote!

Cheers,
Kent.
